(Also, the strongest stuff, which you can even start with, needs little investment and slaughters lesser encounters in a certain repetitive fashion by heavily locking down foes from out of LOS.) There's thus not the longest lifespan in a genre almost defined by varying up such- but in an era brimming with the miseries of gamepass FOMO and gacha grind brainworming, this is hardly a condemnation, just a mild warning. While various themed equipment drops from branch uniques somewhat change up strategies, for the most part the three character stats for skills (+ the two races who ignore such for other downsides) define most of the actual run divisions despite the combinatoric ideals of backgrounds and species, simply because there's only so many skills and a variety of offered chances to see most of them. The prominent traditional roguelikes bristle constantly with maximalist player options and enemy variety (for the better or the worse), while later genre hybrids can't afford to do such as they approach the other genre intersection hard enough that most of them ended up picking up a much more complicated and interwoven synergies-based approach to growth (practically defining new subgenres in the process, as Slay the Spire and Vampire Survivors attest). still, though, there's an awkward lacking nature to RFIII's genre positioning. Still kinda weird how pretty much every branch besides the Factory and the last zone have very direct analogues to Crawl's, but they're pretty remixed nonetheless. There's a lot of smart prominent gimmickry to encounters- varied elemental terrain interactions when so many stop at step-on traps + two liquids breaking up walls and floors delayed AOEs properly paired with enemy swarms compared to the harmless nature of such in Tangledeep a speed point system that lets some characters reposition without killing off prior spatial tactics (compared to teleport points in Crown Trick), a good mix of prefab types between encampment clusters, ambushes, and pre-warned sealed vaults all reasonably mixing up pacing while integrating smoothly into the varied branch layouts.
It's kind of weird to play something so incredibly obviously and directly based on DCSS so many years after I stopped doing development work for it, but for such a streamlined take on the traditional roguelike format I reasonably liked Rogue Fable IIIfor some number of runs.
